Welcome!

Named for one of the greatest piping legends of our time,
P/M Macdonald's roots were steeped in military tradition, having piped since
his boyhood and growing into his melodic compositions that have crossed from
the repertoires of army pipe bands and solo pipers into those of contemporary
folk and ceilidh bands.We are fortunate
to be able to honor P/M. Macdonald while at the same time encouraging the art
of piping in the Western United States.

Please join us on November 2015 for the 17th Annual Macdonald Competition at
the San Diego Hall of Champions and stay for the Tartan Ball.
